Tl;dr: oh hey I have cool new turn signals that don't mount on the side fairings.

Since I no longer have most of the fairings on my bike, I had to come up with a way to mount front turn signals. My first idea was using the ZX-10R mirrors with the built-in turn signals since they are a direct fit and the connectors are the same. However I discovered that the mirror placement ended up being pretty terrible.

I swapped back to the stock mirrors and briefly turned my running lights into turn signals. I just replaced the connectors on them to for the turn signal connectors and swapped to amber bulbs. It worked but they weren't really that bright.

I just got the Motogadget m-blaze pin turn signals. Since I have exposed holes where fairings used to mount, I found a convenient set next to the headlights to pop them in. They are super small and super bright. The light is on the end of an M8 bolt with the wires coming out of the end of the bolt. A nut has to slide over the wires to secure the turn signal. They are annoying to put on and take off though since I insist on using OEM connectors; the connector doesn't fit through the necessary nut so I have to remove the pins from the connector.

I might drill a hole directly into the frame right below where I currently have the signals mounted since the plastic feels less secure and I might be removing more plastic anyway.
